One bright spot

There's no denying that the rollout of the Affordable Care Act has been, uhhh, somewhat less than stellar. The bright spot is that 400,000 people so far are eligible for expanded Medicaid coverage. The even brighter part for me is that over 1/8 of them are from West Virginia. We're trying to figure out how to raise that percentage.

Just think, if the US Supreme Court hadn't made Medicaid expansion a state option those numbers would be in the millions.
